HOME BUYER
By William J McAuliffe. Jr
Executive Vice President
American Land-Title Association
BOUNDARY TROUBLE
Before buying a home, re
member that the real estate
you are shown may not be
exactly the property you ulti
mately own. An example in
point recently occurred in an
eastern state.
In this case, the transaction
was completed before the buyer
learned that an error in a pre
vious deed caused his property,
as described, to overlap several
feet onto his neighbor's
property.
Asa result of this mistake in
description, it was necessary
for an attorney to prepare a
new deed to
correct the er
ror. Fortunate
ly, the buyer
had obtained
owner’s title in
surance at the
time of his real
McAuliffe
estate purchase and the insur
ing title company paid the legal
fees.
The enduring nature of land
makes it possible for a home
buyer to be challenged by
claims arising from the past
after purchasing real estate.
For protection against errors in
description, other mistakes,
and additional types of land
title hazards, the home buyer
needs a title search and owner s
title insurance. A title search
makes it possible for problems
of record to be disclosed before
a transaction is completed.
Owner’s title insurance, based
on a search, covers protection
against hazards including those
a search will not reveal such
as a mistake in public records
or a forged deed that transfers
no title to real estate.

consider in buying a home may

TO THE VOTERS
OF BUTTS COUNTY:
I am so proud of the people of Butts County. The way you
turned out to vote in record numbers in the run-off shows you
really care what happens here.
lam especially grateful to the 1,8590f you who voted for me,
and to all the volunteers who helped me campaign. I wish I
could visit each one personally to thank you. I am not
discouraged, for I know God has a plan for my life and thus I
can accept whatever happens with equanimity. I am not going
to sit back and keep quiet, but I’ll keep on speaking out for
whatever changes need to be made.
To the newly elected commissioners, my congratulations. If
there is any way I can help to build up our county, make the
taxes fairer, and make it a better place to live, you can count
on me.
I am proud that I ran a clean race, based on getting to know
as many of you as possible. Making so many new friends has
been a fringe benefit of this long, hot campaign. To all those
dear and delightful people who promised to come to see me,
give me a couple of weeks to clean up the dust and weeds --1
still live on a dusty, dirt road at Cork -and then, y’all come!
Again, thank you all so very much.

“Something made in heaven,
but lived on the ground.” Yet

If you separate for the
evening, you may find that
absence really can make the
heart grow fonder and you’ll
at least have something to
talk about when you get back.
Another good idea is to
remember your courtship
days: the way you hung on
each others’ every word,
dressed up just for each
other; it worked then, it may
again.
Get away from home for a
while, just the two of you
together. You can arrange a
room just about anywhere in
the world through the reser
vation system of Holiday Inns
and at any of those 1,700
inns you can relax and enjoy
the facilities and each other.
Emile Herzog called marri
age “an edifice that must be
built every day.” Perhaps the
hints here can help the two of
you build yours very high.

HOW TO WASH PERMANENT PRESS SUCCESSFULLY
Permanent press. Is it a
miracle or a myth? That depends
on the big IF . . . if permanent
press items are laundered
properly.
From home economists at the
Whirlpool Corporation, where
extensive tests have been per
formed to discover the best way
to launder permanent press
items so no-iron characteristics
are retained, here are some
suggestions:
1) Wash frequently—Because
permanent press garments stay
fresh looking, its tempting to
delay laundering. But avoid this
because body oil stains (not
always noticeable) may build up,
making them difficult to
remove.
2) Pre-treat stains—Saturate
stained area with concentrated
liquid detergent or with a paste
made from regular detergent. Oil
stains (especially collar ring) on
brightly colored shirts can be
particularly embarrasing. To re
move them, simply saturate area
with dry cleaning solvent—then
with concentrated detergent and
wash regularly.
3) Sort properly —as you
would for a regular load. Perma
nent press naturally develops
static electricity which attracts
lint givers from lint receivers in
both washing and drying.
Separate white, light and dark
colors, too, because permanent
press items pick up color readily.
CROWDING
4) Wash smaller loads
CROWDING causes wrinkles.
5) Wash in the permanent
press or wash and wear cycle
using hot or warm water (de
pending on amount of soil) and
cold rinse water temperature.
If your washer does not have a
permanent press cycle, follow
this procedure: At the end of the
wash period, let the washer

drain almost completely, then
slowly advance the control until
the washer begins to fill for deep
rinse. Allow washer to complete
the cycle automatically. Finally
put the washer through an
additional rinse cycle. Always
use hot or warm water and cold
rinse temperature^
6) Use a fabric softener—in
the deep rinse to reduce static
electricity and prevent clinging.
Follow hang-tag instructions
regarding bleach use.
7) Tumble drying is recom
mended-but don’t overload the
dryer since garments must
tumble freely to avoid formation
of crinkles. Drying smaller
loads helps avoid wrinkles, too.
8) : Remove clothes from the
dryer as soon as possible—to
avoid wrinkles. That’s how to
launder permanent press items
so you won’t have to even touch
them with an iron. One addi
tional caution, though . . .
quality of permanent press
items may vary from brand to
brand. And, of course, a poor
quality garment will not retain
permanent press characteristics
no matter how well you wash it.
So, when shopping, look for a
brand name you know and trust.
Select garments with flat seams
without puckers.
Then, with proper laundering,
your permanent press garments
will be much more likely to
impress you than depress you.
REPORT FROM
STATE PATROL
